Subtitle C--Protections Against
Violence and Abuse for Women with Disabilities

SEC. 310. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds that--

(1) women with disabilities are
more likely to be the victims of abuse and violence than women without
disabilities because of their increased physical, economic, social, or
psychological dependence on others;

(2) in domestic violence cases,
women with disabilities stay with their batterers almost twice as long as women
without disabilities;

(3) violence and abuse against
women with disabilities takes many forms, including verbal abuse, physical
abuse, sexual assault, forced isolation, control over economic resources, and
the withholding of equipment, medication, transportation, or personal care
assistance;

(4) many women with disabilities
fail to report abuse because they are dependent on their abusers and fear being
abandoned or institutionalized;

(5) many women with disabilities
are unable to leave abusive or violent spouses or cohabitants because of the
inaccessibility of services or the fear of abandoning dependent children; and

(6) law enforcement, the criminal
justice system, legal services, and victim services are often not equipped or
trained to effectively identify and respond to abuse or violence against women
with disabilities.
